Topic: How to edit or remove cron job

[bradleyj00]

I have configured a cron job to execute a php script. Unfortunately, it requires some troubleshooting, and I need to edit or remove the recently added cron job.

It was added using a custom template as outlined in the wiki,

Hoping someone can offer a little direction?

Thanks,
Jim

Templates make undoing your changes very easy, that's part of their beauty.

To undo or reverse what you did, simply delete the the custom template, expand & restart:

rm /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/crontab/your_file_name
expand-template /etc/crontab
service crond restart

I strongly suggest you take a look at the Template Tutorial Howto
